Booking vs ASML? ASML any day. Even though Booking.com is nearby. I don't think what Booking.com does is remotely interesting whereas ASML is driving forward the whole of the semiconductor industry. That's a very easy choice. If it is just about pay then they are roughly comparable depending on your specialty, though Booking has less technical debt.

I understand the 'interestigness' but was asking particularly about the pay, because I've heard asml isn't exactly among the top payers, should research levels.fyi I guess to see for myself
